Likewise, clas rank (if your school does it, or otherwise a general knowledge of GPA distribution at your school by the colleges) will also make a differance: a 3.8 reads very differently to adcoms if it puts you in the top 5% of your class vs. the top 20%.
An employee's gross pay is the amount of his wages before any deductions, including taxes and benefits. Gross pay may be determined by the amount an employee works, as in hourly pay, or at a set rate, as in a weekly salary.
Gross pay may also include pay above and beyond a set salary, such as overtime. For instance, a worker who earns $10 an hour and works 2,732 hours in a year is paid $27,320 in gross pay over the year. Gross income includes gross pay, but potentially includes more money that an individual takes in.
